[pptp-server] PPTPD for LINUX

[Adam Lang]

Sorry, but I don't have a solution to your PPTP problem, but does your
router support IPSEC?  If so, a good solution might be to connect your
Windows 2K server, linux box, and router via IPSEC and your linux box and
windows 9x clients via PPTP.  Granted it is another protocol, but you might
have a bit more success (Win2K should support IPSEC and Freeswan is the
linux version).
